Re: QR and photographers

[pturtle@ozemail.com.au (Paul Turtle)]

Hi all,

Just returned from holidays up north. Went to Roma Street last Monday to 
ride Tilt Train. Walked up platform 10 to where Tilt Train was being 
serviced, took a couple of shots, no problems. Took a couple of shots of 
suburban sets going past, no problems. Took photo of Tilt Train moving 
into position for passengers on platform 10, no problems. After riding 
Tilt Train to Cooroy and back, took another few shots at Roma Street, got 
suburban to Exhibition station, couple of more shots, approached by QR 
staff member who assumed we were waiting for steam hauled specials 
through Exhibition, who told us that they had just finished for the day, 
nothing said about photography. Went back to platform 9 at Roma Street 
and another few shots.

No problems at all.

Regards
Paul Turtle
